The first "Manual of Symbols and Terminology
for Physicochemical Quantities and Units" (the 'Green Book'), of
which this is a direct successor, was published in 1969, with the objective
of securing clarity and precision, and wider agreement in the use of
symbols, by chemists in different countries, among physicists, chemists
and engineers, and by editors of scientific journals. Subsequent editions
of this book and of "Quantities, Units and Symbols in Physical
Chemistry" have been substantially revised and extended, containing
many new resolutions and recommendations from Conférence Générale
des Poids et Mesures, International Union of Pure and Physics, the International
Organization for Standardization and IUPAC. The style of the manual
has also been changed such that it is no longer simply a book of rules,
but more a manual of assistance and advice to meet the everyday needs
of the practicing scientist.
* an essential reference manual for all practicing chemists and physicists
* contains the latest recommendations from the regulatory bodies
